Virus received

Hello,

This seems strange, I posted yesterday a message in this
group, with my correct email, and a couple hours later I
receive 2 emails with a virus. I almost never give out
this email so my feeling is that somebody is checking
this group and ....

Posting a valid email address is always an invitation to spam of all kind,
including viruses. Lately the Swen virus has been hitting NG posters
especially hard. See

Never post your real email address publicly as there are 'email harvesters'
that hunt the Internet and add them to their mailing lists. If you want
people to be able to email you, then mung your email address something like
[email protected] or david at hot mail dot com. Your real email will be
obvious to intelligent humans but the harvesters won't spot it.
